As as class we read the following three stories. Students have taken what they believe are the main events and important message of these stories and created videos that share what they have learned.

More Learning About Dugout Canoes
In class students watched a few videos about dugout canoes.
A few videos come from the Aboriginal Tourism BC Website:
Dugout Canoes: A Master Carver
Dugout Canoes: A Family Affair
There is also this time lapse video of making a dug canoe. This example is not for a typical Northwest Coast Canoe made by the indigenous people of the area. It does however give a good idea of how big a task is to make a dugout canoe.

Inuit Fishing
We noticed that an important value among the first nations is sharing with others. In this story Grandma instructs her two grandchildren to share their catch with people in the village who can no longer get out on the frozen lakes to fish.
We are working on a video which will explain all the skills needed to ice fish safely.
